History
The first issue of Tales of the Unanticipated was launched in August 1986. Over the years, notable authors who contributed fiction, articles and/or poetry have included Kate Wilhelm, Eleanor Arnason, Damon Knight, Bruce Bethke, John Sladek, Stephen Dedman, and Neil Gaiman.
Writers who had their very first published short stories premiere in TOTU include Peg Kerr, Jason Sanford, and Kij Johnson, and others who had important early appearances of their work in the magazine include Lyda Morehouse. The short story "Koan" was eventually made into the short film The Gnostic starring Francesco Quinn.
TOTU also has had many interviews over the years with top speculative fiction authors, such as Gaiman, Knight, Wilhelm, Sladek, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Larry Niven, Fritz Leiber, Kim Stanley Robinson, and George Alec Effinger and Ursula K. Le Guin. The editors are notable for paying notice to many authors of speculative fiction who are not always marketed as “genre writers,” interviewing Gore Vidal, Jonathan Carroll, and Karen Joy Fowler.
